Day 284: MASIE extent grows by 205,000 in the last 2 days to 6.64 M Km2 or 43% of March max.
Ice recovery is especially impressive in Canadian Archipelago, where UAH is showing the coldest temperature anomaly on earth. That region has gone from a minimum of 0.33 M on day 260, to an extent of 0.69 M 22 days later (from 39% of max to 81% of max).
Other regions recovering strongly:
Central Arctic has grown back to 98% of the max last March
Beaufort Sea is up to 71%,
Canadian Archipelago is now at 81%
East Siberian Sea is at 47%
Greenland Sea is up to 49%
Chukchi has grown to 37%,
